I don't see how it will change anything. Search is broken at an algorithmic level, and switching from iTunes.com to AppStore.com really won't help. Much as I wish it would. Apple needs to either spend some of their cash reserve on some sear

I agree that house of cards is a great show and casting Spacey was an excellent choice. The American Beauty Kate Mana really works well too. If you're thinking of the bbc's Yes Minister, then this is nothing like that show. Maybe you had so

Why? App developers look to what's selling and do better at it? Isn't that the usual software ecosystem at work, just like biological evolution. This is always how software has evolved, it's just that now, we have tools that largely do a pr

I'm from that generation. You forgot The Well, by the way. But Hugh Laurie wasn't an influence for me, not in the same way say, Douglas Adams was.

No, it's called science, we've been using it for a little while now and it seems to be working out pretty well.

People easily forget that Facebook was funded by the CIA and remains their biggest success in intelligence gathering.

It's a first world notion because that's part of being a first world country. We invest in infrastructure that provides protection. Self-defense has shifted to the much more efficient system where by individuals don't walk around armed beca

Cisco must be happy about this. It's got to be the largest real world rendering of their logo anywhere! This looks beautiful, going on the video. Its similar to light shows in other world class cities (Like in London, and the Eiffel Towel i

ditto for every site that uses that piece of junk. Onswipe has to be the worst thing to happen to the web in years.

Someone has a Kerouac fetish... Romanticizing this way of life is fine, but it's just that. Real life creeps back in and you remember why you needed those keys, and that you left your sunglasses in your bag, and wandering aimlessly makes yo

I don't agree, one of the beauties of bootstrap is that it's really easy to wrap your head around.

possible, but unlikely. When I ask friends with Airs they never complain that the screen is lacking in any way. I think "retina" displays are a marketing gimmick, and in some cases actually cause problems until all the apps know how to work

Just think how much useful it would be to spend the money we waste on libraries on schools instead. My local libraries multi-million dollar extension is a hard pill to swallow when I see teachers cut, after school programs cut etc etc. Sure

On the Mac you can run it constantly and it won't ever crash. It's one of the most amazingly reliable pieces of software out there.

This happens a lot and tech is not without its elitists, but that doesn't excuse rude behaviour. I have found this happens a lot, but a lot less than in England. Fortunately we have people like Zuck in a hoodie and Brin on the subway, both

so? don't disable js if you want to use the www. It's not worth web developer's time catering to people like you. if I take out my car's engine it takes me forever to get anywhere, but is that Honda's problem?

This is the same argument that has been used for decades for many problems. Like making gas $10/gallon to reduce dependence on middle east oil. It never works and is an unamerican argument. It's tantamount to saying Marx had it right all al

I wasn't wondering why this was front page on hn, I've long again tried not to second guess what appeals to the masses. Just look at your own product's trending for that. Who'd have thought that Maru's first snow encounter would be youtube

Audio is the worse way to consume content, why not just use Evernote or whatever and read what you've missed? Then you can continue to listen to music and catch up with what you've missed while you're on the train.

I'm sure she is, to you. But this wasn't done by a 10 year old, and using your daughter as a metaphor is completely inaccurate and irrelevant. It was a stupid, childish stunt designed to show off. This does nothing to change anything. MIT's

SQL standards were and are a joke. Real app developers can't wait for the standards boards to ratify a syntax, they have to actually get on and build things. Oracle SQL is what it is, and if you don't like it use something else. The old dre
